Estimated Delivery Time


3960AD

Recommended Posts

Has anyone determined or is knowlegable of a way to estimate delivery time. Basically I'm looking to use this algorithm (below), its all based on the customers zip code. We'll use our zipcode (x) and other variables determine a way to get the estimated delivery time. The thing is, we have no knowledge of how to compute delivery time from zip code to zip code.

 

Shipping From Zip Code = x

Destination Zip Code = y

Day of the Week = z

Zip Codes in Eastern = e

Zip Codes in Central = c

Zip Codes in Western = w

 

If y is found in e then we would say add 2 additional days for insurance, since x would be in Western. If z = Sunday, we would also add an extra day and so on.

 

But the thing is I just havent found a way to determine delivery time from zip code to zip code.

 

Any suggestions???
